Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings in Seattle's 9-4 loss to the Orioles on Tuesday, but did not factor into the decision.
Walker had issues in the first when he put two men on and then allowed an RBI single to Steve Pearce. Then in the fourth, Walker allowed the first four hitters to reach base safely, leading to another run. After forcing Manny Machado to ground into a double play, Walker gave up an RBI single to Jimmy Paredes before getting the hook.
Walker, who remains 1-4, moved his ERA to 7.47 in 37 innings of work. He will look to get back on track Sunday against the Blue Jays.
